Popis: Ion implantation and protein-coatings were utilized to alter the surface properties (thrombogenicity, endothelial cellular migration and adhesion) of microcoils (GDCs) for intravascular treatment of brain aneurysms. These modified coils were compared with standard GDCs in the treatment of experimental swine aneurysms. Improved cellular adhesion and proliferation was observed with use of the modified coils. The results of this preliminary investigation indicate that future application of this technology may provide early wound healing at the necks of embolized wide-necked brain aneurysms.
